Statute overview

About this statute

All peoples have the right of self-determination, and States Parties must promote and respect that right. States Parties must take steps, using available resources and appropriate means, to progressively realize Covenant rights and ensure them without discrimination; developing countries may set the extent of economic rights for non-nationals. States Parties must ensure equal rights for men and women to enjoy the Covenant’s economic, social, and cultural rights. The State may limit those rights, but only by law, only as far as compatible with the rights’ nature, and only to promote general welfare in a democratic society. This provision says the Covenant must not be read as giving anyone a right to destroy recognized rights and freedoms or limit them more than the Covenant allows.
